I'm not sure if this is sad on my part because of bad taste, but I actually like some of Adam Sandler's newer stuff. Yeah, some of his earlier works were stupid, like Little Nicky and Zohan, but others were actually funny.

I have to admit, I'm one of them.

Happy Gilmore and Mr. Deeds are among two of my favorites of his.

I dislike Adam Sandler and refuse to watch any thing he is in.

You must have watched something of his in order to know that you dislike him.

Then it sounds like a great movie experience to me.

I was in Milwaukee for training on a certain brand of Building Access Control systems and had already become friends with the main tech support lead as I had beta installed the hardware. We went out with a little hibachi and a couple cases of beer. I have no idea what two movies we watched, nor do I recall the next day's training. Luckily I already actually knew the subject.

Yes, another street collapse in the ATL... it seems obvious to me that we are under attack by the mole men. Clearly they are angry at the fact that the Braves got shuffled off to a new location in Cobb county, so they are exacting revenge on the citizens of the city, all while scapegoating the homeless and Wile E. Coyote in an effort to conceal their true intentions...
